Also, in agent tasks, in the OSWorld test, frontier AI strength (66.3%) is approaching the human baseline.
However, in the PaperArena test专门评估科研逻辑, the strongest AI-powered Agent scored only 39%, half the capability of a PhD student.
But this unevenness doesn't stop companies from integrating AI into production lines.
Another number from the AI Index is that the global enterprise AI adoption rate has reached 88%. Ninety percent of companies have integrated AI into some workflow.
The cost is rising simultaneously. Recorded AI-related incidents increased from 233 in 2024 to 362.
Money is Accelerating: $581.7 Billion Poured into AI
Global corporate AI investment in 2025 reached $581.7 billion, a year-on-year increase of 130%.其中, private investment was $344.7 billion, up 127.5% year-on-year.
Both curves almost doubled.
By country, the US is in a league of its own. US private AI investment in 2025 was $285.9 billion. And it added 1,953 AI startups in one year, also more than 10 times the number of the second-ranked country.
Money is accelerating into the US. But another core US resource is moving in the opposite direction.
People are Flowing Out: AI Researchers Entering the US Fell 89%
There's a set of numbers that makes one pause.
From 2017 to now, the number of AI researchers and developers entering the US has fallen by 89%.
More critically, this decline is accelerating. In the past year alone, the drop was 80%.
The US still has the highest density of AI researchers globally, but the inflow tap is tightening.
The curves of money and people are starting to反向. This is a situation not seen in the past decade.
Computing Power Rose 30-Fold in 3 Years, Lifelines in One Company's Hands
The AI capability curve is accelerating, but the computing power curve behind it is running even faster.
From 2021 to now, global AI computing power has increased 30-fold. Over the past three years, it has tripled every year.
This curve is supported by a few companies.
NVIDIA's GPUs alone account for over 60% of the world's AI computing power. Amazon and Google rank second and third with their own chips, but combined they are far behind NVIDIA.
And almost all these chips come from one foundry, TSMC. The steeper the computing power curve, the narrower the lifeline.
Meanwhile, the cost is also increasing.
The total power of global AI data centers has reached 29.6 GW, equivalent to New York State's entire peak electricity demand. The estimated carbon emission for one training run of xAI Grok 4 is 72,816 tons of CO2 equivalent, equal to the tailpipe emissions of 17,000 cars driving for a year.
Where data centers are built, where electricity comes from, where chips are produced—these three questions have become the most headache-inducing issues on every AI company CEO's desk this year.
Generative AI Penetrated 53% in Three Years, Chinese Workplace Usage Exceeds 80%
Generative AI reached a global population penetration rate of 53% within three years.
This speed is faster than personal computers, faster than the internet.
But penetration speed is highly correlated with country. Singapore 61%, UAE 54%, both ahead of the US. The US ranks only 24th among the surveyed countries, with a penetration rate of 28.3%.
If we change the dimension from consumers to the workplace, the contrast is greater.
Another set of data in the report shows that in 2025, 58% of employees globally had already started using AI regularly at work. But in five countries—China, India, Nigeria, UAE, Saudi Arabia—this proportion exceeded 80%.
China's workplace AI penetration rate is already more than 20 percentage points higher than the global average.
Even more interesting is consumer value.
AI Index estimates that by early 2026, generative AI tools create $172 billion in value annually for US consumers. From 2025 to 2026, the median value per user tripled.
The vast majority of users are still using the free version.
Entry-Level Positions Sharply Reduced, 22-25 Year-Old Dev Jobs Slashed 20%
The part of the entire AI Index that might be most沉默 for Chinese readers is probably the section on youth employment.
The number of employed software developers aged 22 to 25 has fallen by about 20% since 2024.
During the same period, older peer groups actually grew.
Not just development roles. Other high-AI-exposure industries like customer service are also showing the same pattern.
More worrying are the results of corporate surveys. Respondent executives generally expect future layoffs to be larger than in the past few months.
This isn't about the macro unemployment rate; it's about entry-level positions being precisely cut off.
If the first job is gone, the entire career ladder loses a rung. The long-term impact of this is something no one can calculate yet.
AI is Rewriting the Way Science is Done
If the employment section is cold, the science section is hot.
AI-related papers in natural sciences, physical sciences, and life sciences grew by 26% to 28% year-on-year in 2025.
Specifically in application, this year for the first time an AI completely ran an end-to-end weather forecasting process. From raw meteorological observation data directly outputting final forecasts for temperature, wind speed, humidity, with no traditional numerical models介入.
AI is moving from "helping you write papers" "helping you calculate numbers" to "making discoveries itself".
It's the same in hospitals. In 2025, many hospitals began deploying AI tools that can automatically generate clinical records from consultation dialogues. Doctors in multiple hospital systems reported that time spent writing medical records was reduced by up to 83%, with significant decreases in burnout.
But the same index pours cold water on medical AI. A review of over 500 clinical AI studies found that nearly half relied on exam-style datasets, and only 5% used real clinical data.
AI can reduce doctors' typing time, that's certain. AI's clinical value on real patients currently has many question marks.
Self-Learning Wave Explodes Globally, Formal Education Has Fallen Behind
Formal education can't keep up with AI.
4/5 of US high school and college students now use AI to complete school assignments. But only half of secondary schools have AI usage policies, and only 6% of teachers think these policies are clear.
Students are running ahead, teachers are still in place, rules haven't appeared yet.
While formal education falls behind, the self-learning wave is exploding globally. It says the three countries with the fastest growth in learning AI engineering skills are the UAE, Chile, and South Africa.
Not the US, not Europe.
The steepest part of the skill curve is growing in places no one is looking.
Strongest Models Become the Most Opaque, Experts and Public are分裂
The strongest models are becoming the most opaque models.
The Foundation Model Transparency Index's average score fell from 58 last year to 40 this year. The AI Index directly点名, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI have all stopped公开 the training data scale and training duration of their latest models.
Of the 95 most representative models released last year, 80 did not公开 training code.
Public sentiment has also become more complex.
Globally, the proportion believing AI's benefits outweigh the risks rose from 52% to 59%. But during the same period, the proportion feeling nervous about AI rose from 50% to 52%.
Both directions are growing simultaneously.
The most分裂 is the US. Only 33% of Americans think AI will make their jobs better, the global average is 40%. Americans' trust in their own government to regulate AI is the lowest among surveyed countries, 31%.
Singaporeans' trust in their government to regulate AI is 81%.
After the recent incident at Sam Altman's house was袭击, Silicon Valley insiders were "surprised to find" that ordinary people in the Instagram comments were not sympathetic, some even felt "it should be more intense".
They didn't realize things had gotten this bad.
The Pew and Ipsos data cited in the report show that the perception gap between experts and the public on the impact of AI on employment, healthcare, economy, etc.,普遍 exceeds 30 percentage points, with the largest gap reaching 50 percentage points.
On one side, the curves in the lab are soaring; on the other, ordinary people's unease is accumulating.
There is no bridge in between.
In Conclusion
The 423-page report has hundreds of charts, but it really only draws one picture.
The horizontal axis is time, the vertical axis is capability.
The model capability curve is flying, the computing power curve is flying, the investment curve is flying, the adoption rate curve is flying. Everything else is stagnating or moving downward.
This is the entire content of the 2026 AI Index.
AI is accelerating. Everything else is decoupling.
If you are in this industry, the question to ask now is not "what will the future be like", but "which curve are you standing on".

Two Legends Lost in Three Days: Is Google's AI Talent Dam Cracking?
In three days, Google lost two AI legends. On June 18, Noam Shazeer, co-author of the seminal "Attention is All You Need" paper and Gemini co-lead, left for OpenAI. Just 48 hours later, John Jumper, 2024 Nobel laureate and AlphaFold lead, departed DeepMind for Anthropic. This follows Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic in May. These moves highlight a structural trend: top AI talent is concentrating at mission-driven, pre-IPO firms like OpenAI and Anthropic, while Google becomes a primary source.
The exodus stems from a core mission mismatch. Google's ad-centric model often subordinates AI research to product and revenue goals, creating friction for pioneers like Shazeer, who returned in 2024 only to leave again. In contrast, OpenAI and Anthropic offer singular focus on pushing AI boundaries, whether towards AGI or safety-aligned models, which deeply appeals to top researchers like Jumper.
Financial incentives amplify the pull. With both OpenAI and Anthropic nearing IPO, employees stand to gain immensely from equity, an upside Google's mature stock cannot match. Furthermore, the 2023 merger of Google Brain and DeepMind, intended to consolidate strength, has instead created cultural tension and slowed the path from research to product, as evidenced by Gemini's pace.
This talent redistribution is reshaping the AI landscape. While Google retains vast data and compute resources, its true crisis is the quiet, continuous loss of the people who define the field's future. The real moat in AI is not infrastructure, but the concentration of brilliant minds—a battle Google is currently losing.

Behind the AI Report Card, Lies a Chinese 'Exam Setter'
Beyond the familiar performance charts like MMLU-Pro and MMMU, which major AI models strive to ace, stands a key "examiner": Chinese-Canadian researcher Wenhu Chen. An assistant professor at the University of Waterloo and founder of TIGERLab, Chen addresses the crucial need for more rigorous AI evaluation. As models like GPT-4 began scoring near-perfect results on older benchmarks like MMLU, it became difficult to distinguish their true capabilities. In response, Chen introduced MMLU-Pro in 2024, featuring harder, more reasoning-focused questions with more answer choices, successfully reintroducing meaningful performance gaps.
His work extends to multi-modal evaluation with MMMU and its enhanced version, MMMU-Pro. These benchmarks test a model's ability to understand and reason with complex information from images, charts, and text across diverse academic subjects, exposing the significant challenges even top models face in genuine comprehension.
Chen's background in complex QA, table reasoning, and his experience at Google DeepMind on projects like Gemini inform his approach. He understands that effective benchmarks must anticipate how models might "cheat" by memorizing data or avoiding visual analysis. His lab also actively researches video understanding and generation models (e.g., UniVideo, Vamba), ensuring his evaluation work is grounded in practical model-building challenges. Now at Meta's Super Intelligence Lab, Chen continues his focus on multi-modal data and evaluation, representing the deep yet often unseen contributions of Chinese talent in shaping the fundamental tools of the AI industry.

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written at the Moment Cursor Sold for $600 Billion
Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: On Cursor's $60 Billion Sale
Many aspiring founders see massive exits like Cursor's $60B sale and wonder why they can't achieve the same, often concluding opportunities are exhausted. But great companies aren't built in obvious, crowded spaces.
Cursor, like Stripe, Figma, and Shopify before it, started with a non-consensus belief about the future. Before ChatGPT, they believed AI would transform knowledge work. They focused on a genuinely exciting domain, became their own customer, and obsessed over power users. Their journey involved years of "glass-chewing" effort before the market was ready. The pattern is consistent: identify a long-term technological shift, find a missed entry point, and execute for years before the trend becomes obvious.
First-generation products (PayPal, Adobe, Amazon) prove a market exists. Second-generation winners (Stripe, Figma, Shopify) rebuild that market around new insights, technology, or changing customer behaviors. Founders must identify their phase in the cycle. Early entrants like Coinbase or Cursor focus on making new technology usable for power users. Later entrants find the "yin" to the established "yang"—the blind spots incumbents miss as they grow distant from individual users.
The key is deep market immersion. Use every product in your space. Talk to users. Build an audience. Stop looking for ideas and start *seeing* them everywhere. Then, choose one. The idea must offer a 10x improvement or solve a "hair-on-fire" pain point—something severe enough that users are already crafting workarounds.
When building, avoid feature bloat. Ask: why would someone switch? Great startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction (e.g., Cursor forked VS Code instead of creating a new editor). Distribution is the underestimated moat. Before product-market fit, achieve distribution-market fit. How do customers discover new tools? Founders like those at Airbnb, Stripe, and Cursor did unscalable, manual work to recruit early users.
The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Cursor built for years pre-market, faced rejection, and persisted. So did Airbnb, Nvidia, and Rain (which launched post-FTX collapse). The lesson isn't that these founders were smarter, but that they stayed in the game long enough for their insights to compound.
Framework: Spot technological cycles. Cultivate unique insight. Obsess over your market. Talk to customers. Find a hair-on-fire problem. Build the simplest wedge. Win your distribution channel. Above all, don't quit when it gets hard. Most people won't do these things consistently. The few who do build the next generation of great companies. Go build.

Alliance's Co-Founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written on the Occasion of Cursor's $60 Billion Sale
In this letter to entrepreneurs, Alliance reflects on the success of Cursor's $60 billion sale to Elon Musk, using it as a case study to counter the misconception that opportunities in crowded fields like AI or crypto are exhausted.
The piece argues that great companies like Cursor, Stripe, Figma, and Shopify are not built by geniuses with perfect ideas, but by founders who start with a non-consensus belief about the future and build for years before that future becomes obvious to everyone. They identify long-term shifts, find overlooked entry points, and execute relentlessly.
The framework for success involves:
1. **Identifying your place in the technology cycle**: Early-stage opportunities focus on making new tech usable for power users (e.g., Coinbase, Cursor). Later-stage opportunities involve finding the "yin" to an existing "yang"—the blind spots of first-generation players (e.g., Stripe vs. PayPal, Figma vs. Adobe).
2. **Cultivating unique insights**: Immerse yourself deeply in the market. Use every product, talk to users, and build an audience. Insights will emerge naturally from deep engagement.
3. **Finding a "hair-on-fire" problem**: Look for a 10x improvement or a severe, urgent pain point. The strongest signal is people already building clumsy workarounds.
4. **Building a focused MVP**: Don't just add features because you can. Ask why users would abandon their current tool for yours. The best startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction.
5. **Winning a distribution channel**: Distribution is often the moat. Before product-market fit, achieve channel-market fit. Find where your customers are and build an engine to reach them, even through unscalable, manual efforts initially.
6. **Persistence**: The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Success stories like Cursor, Airbnb, and Nvidia involved years of grinding, rejection, and perseverance when the path forward seemed unclear.
The conclusion is that there is no secret. Most people fail to consistently execute these steps over the long term. The few who do build the companies that define the next era. The world is yours to create.
